Control access at the knowledge base level through user criteria

You specify user criteria for a knowledge base to control which users are granted access to read and contribute knowledge articles to that knowledge base.

Role required: knowledge_manager, knowledge_admin, or admin

注:

To administer a scoped knowledge base, you must have the application-specific admin role in addition to the knowledge_admin or admin role. For more information, see Scoped knowledge bases.

このタスクについて

You can assign user criteria to control read or contribute access. For example, you could enable all users in your Support department to have contribute access to a knowledge base by creating a user criteria record with the required department set to Support, and then including the user criteria record in the Can Contribute user criteria. For more information, see Managing access to knowledge bases and knowledge articles. Try to use only user criteria, which were introduced in Knowledge Management v3, to control access to knowledge bases. Roles were used for this purpose in Knowledge Management v2.

注:

Starting with the Washington DC release, the Knowledge Management v3 homepage (com.snc.knowledge3) is being prepared for deprecation in the future Y release. It is replaced by the Knowledge Management Service Portal (com.snc.knowledge_serviceportal), which is active by default for customers on Madrid and later releases. For more information about the new experience, see Knowledge Management Service Portal homepage features.

手順

1. Navigate to All > Knowledge > Administration > Knowledge Bases.
2. Click the link to knowledge base you manage.
3. Add user criteria to the knowledge base.
   1. Depending on the user criteria you want to set, select one or more of the relevant related lists.

      Related list	Description
      Can Read	Users can read knowledge articles in the knowledge base.
      Cannot Read	Users can't read knowledge articles in the knowledge base.
      Can Contribute	Users can create, modify, and retire knowledge articles in a knowledge base. Contribute access to a knowledge base also provides read access to all articles in the knowledge base.
      Cannot Contribute	Users can't create, modify, retire, or read knowledge articles in the knowledge base.

      注:

      If the related lists aren't visible, configure the Knowledge form to display them. For more information, see Add a related list to a form.
   2. In the selected related list, add the required user criteria.
      • As a user with the admin role, to add a new user criteria record, click New, specify the required fields, and then click Submit.
      • As a user with the knowledge_manager, knowledge_admin, or admin role, to add an existing user criteria record, click Edit, move the required user criteria from the Collection column to the Knowledge column, and then click Save.
4. On the Knowledge Base form, click Update.

次のタスク

After you add user criteria, you can use the user criteria diagnostics feature to verify the access that users have to a knowledge base or a knowledge article. For more information, see User criteria diagnostics for Knowledge Management.

重要:

After making user criteria additions or changes, you may need to log out and log back in to clear the prior configuration.
